It’s time for the Business Record’s annual Best of
Des Moines poll results. A few months ago, we asked you, our readers, to cast your ballots for what
Des Moines has to offer in a variety of
business-related categories.

Here’s how it works: You vote. We check the data, remove any suspicious or erroneous votes, and then tally and publish the results for all 74 categories.

All Greater Des Moines businesses, people and organizations are eligible to win categories. In other words, there was no cost to be listed as an option due to the poll being open-ended, and you can’t pay to win a category.

The Business Record will be your tool to consistently use for staying plugged in long after you’ve been operating in the community. Of course, becoming a member and getting our products will keep you up to date with all the news, initiatives and topics you need to do business better, but here are a few ways you can use our resources to make a deeper connection with us, be in our products and continually build your credibility in the business community.

It’s time again for our annual Best of Des Moines awards. As in past years, our readers voted via an online open-ended survey for the businesses, people and events that they thought were the “Best of Des Moines.” We simply tallied the votes in all 74 categories.
